So let's take a little bit closer look at the Malone AirFlow2 to see how it works with the GMC Acadia.

A roof rack system is a great way to not only move cargo but to have a great time out in the world. You can add kayak carriers, bike carriers, cargo boxes, platforms, just about anything that is compatible with a roof rack system. As far as your weight capacity, you wanna definitely check your owner's manual to see what that rating is, what the rating is on the bars and the rating on the feet, and whatever the lowest rating is, is what you're gonna be limited to as far as your cargo. more

Now as far as adding a roof rack system to your vehicle, that's gonna help solve the problem of having additional space for your cargo and still loading up your vehicle with passengers. Having a roof rack also helps you with getting out there and having fun 'cause it can also support kayak carriers, bike carriers, as well as cargo boxes, as your weight capacity on the CoreBar system is at 220 pounds. However, you're definitely gonna want to consult with your manufacturer's instructions to see what the maximum capacity of the roof is. The best benefit of not having a fixed mounting point system and taking advantage of your raised rails is the fact that you can adjust your spread for whatever accessory you're using, like some of the items I listed, or maybe a tent. The bars themselves are 50 inches long, about three inches wide, two and three quarters and an inch tall. more

Malone AirFlow2 Universal Roof Rack Installation - 2017 GMC Acadia- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 GMC Acadia, we're going to be taking a look at, and showing you how to install the Malone Airflow 2 Roof Rack System, part number MPG215.Our Malone Airflow 2 is going to free up a lot of space in our Acadia for passengers and pets, by allowing us to move all of our gear to the top of our roof. The elliptical shape of the bars, are going to cut down on a lot of that wind noise and drag that are commonly associated with roof rack systems. The legs are going to work perfectly with our factory raised rails. The rubber surround is going to not only give it a nice grip, but also protect our factory paint from any kind of scratches or abrasions. And, they have a nylon construction, so they're going to be weather resistant.The bars are going to be made out of a lightweight aluminum, so they're going to be nice and strong, but they're also going to be rust resistant. Now up top, here, we're going to have a nice weather stripping. more

Inno Roof Rack Review - 2012 GMC Acadia- Video

Today on our 2012 GMC Acadia we're going to be test fitting the Inno Square Bar Roof Rack System, comprised of part numbers INB117, these are the Inno Square crossbars, 46" long, and part number INFR. These are Inno feet for the square crossbars. You know a square bar roof rack system is great for carrying accessories up on your roof and freeing up space in your vehicle. Both bars combined have a carrying capacity of 220 pounds, although you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure it can withstand that weight. Now while the bars themselves aren't aerodynamic you can purchase a fairing separately which can cut down the wind noise and drag. Also all four end caps are locked, so once this is installed onto your factory raised side rails it's secured to your factory raised side rails as well. Now that we've gone over some of the features of the roof rack let's go ahead and show you how it installs. more
